Localizing the User Interface

You can select the language of the Oxygen XML Editor user interface. Oxygen XML Editor ships with the following languages: English, French, German, Japanese,
and Dutch. To change the interface language, go to Options > Preferences > Global preferences page, then choose the appropriate language from the
Language drop-down menu.

Creating an Interface Localization File

You can change the language of the Oxygen XML Editor user interface by creating
an interface localization file. The example in this procedure is based on the Spanish
language, and a standard Oxygen XML Editor Windows distribution.

Identify the code for the new language you want to translate the interface. It is composed
from a language code (two or three lowercase letters that conform to the ISO 639 standard), followed by an underscore character, and a
region code (two or three uppercase letters that conform to the ISO 3166 standard).

Write an email to the Oxygen XML Editor support team and ask them to send
you the translation.xml sample file.

Open translation.xml in Oxygen XML Editor. The file contains
all the interface messages that can be translated and is updated at every new release with
the latest additions. Here is a sample of its
content:

<translation><languageList><languagedescription="English"lang="en_US"/></languageList><keyvalue="New"><comment>The File/New action. Creates a new document.</comment><vallang="en_US">New</val></key><keyvalue="New_folder"><comment>Creates a folder in the Project View.</comment><vallang="en_US">New Folder</val></key>
.....
</translation>

Update the language element to reflect the new language. Set the
description attribute to Spanish and the
lang attribute to es_ES.

For each key element translate the comment (optional)
and val elements. Set the lang attribute to
es_ES.
